At what temperature do you ferment? Voss kveik is more neutral closer to room temperature but takes a little longer to finish.

Yes, Voss Kveik is a great option for warm fermenting but be aware that the citrus flavor in this strain is stronger at high temperatures. At room temperature or slightly above it's pretty neutral.

Thanks. I have a counterflow and immersion chiller for use in winter when the water temperature isn't over 30C. I would like to do the no-chill method for both saving water and the water temperature problem. I'll stay away from those late hop recipes. Learning a lot more on this topic from you...

Thank you! I'll be reading this for sure. Appreciate the links.

I'm familiar with FWH but the part that isn't clear to me is how adding the 15 min boil flavor hop before boil (as FWH) would equal the same hop flavor as 15 min boil. I'm thinking the amount for FHW addition will be smaller than the original 15 min addition? I probably need to delve into some...

Thank you, everyone, for commenting. I brew small batch (10L mostly) and haven't done many IPA (the American style, like West Coast) and other heavily bittered beer styles. Sorry, that's just my taste buds being in charge and they don't adapt easily. I do enjoy NEIPA type beer with mostly late...

Thank you!

I'm an intermediate home brewer in Arizona, USA. With our high temperatures and concerns about water I'm hoping to benefit from the knowledge of Aussie brewers on the topic of no-chill brewing. I'm very interested in the hop calculations and related topics.
